Question Dual? Quad?

Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F Gaming WIFI
Ryzen 7700x
G Skill Trident Z5 Neo 32GB (2x16)

Ive recently built the above system, everything working ok but when I use CPU-Z, it says channel # 4x32bit. Am I right in thinking that means it's set to quad and not dual? Im using the correct slots, A2,B2 and I have set EXPO in the BIOS but I cant seem to find a setting that I can change into dual mode?

DDR5 works different than DDR4.
On DDR4 each module has 64bit memory bus. In dual channel mode you get 2x64bit.
On DDR5 each module operates with 2x32bit memory bus. In dual channel mode you get 4x32bit.

Thanks, yeah, just done some reading up on it and am starting to understand.
